Dana says, in his website, that he is putting up new stones as well for his sale. I haven''t seen that many and I am pretty sure I know his inventory by heart. Is it only me?
Ditto Largosmom and packrat. I also do an occasional search for "pair", which is how I found the native cut rubies. They were posted in the "native cuts" section, which I never check.Date: 11/29/2009 11:42:51 AM

Sometimes the only way I can tell something has changed on the page is a stone is in a different position in line than I remember. And actually, it makes me notice some of the stones that have been there for a while, that I gloss over after seeing them several times.
Thank you for the update, JLY! If I were you, I''d go ahead and order the sapphire you have your eye on, and Dana can mail it tomorrow. If another one comes along, I''m pretty sure he will take a return, as long as it is within a few weeks here. You can''t lose.Date: 11/30/2009 4:58:44 PM

An update from his site today:
I will be posting new gems on Wednesday; so for the faithful ones that have been keeping up with the site; you can take a 2 day break... If it is a new cut it will go under Most Recent Cut; otherwise it will go in the proper mineral category... Sorry for any confusion I may have instilled; but it has really been crazy on my end... There will be lots of sapphires, tourmalines, spinels, and some other unusual stuff. If there are things you are needing for the holiday; just ask and I will see if I can put them up.
So looks like he was pretty busy last week and didn''t get to posting the new stuff like he thought... but ''lots of sapphires'' sounds pretty good to me! I think I can wait till Wednesday! Even though I''m still staring at one that''s listed now... *sigh*. I''m gonna give myself an ulcer freaking out on whether I should buy it now, or wait and risk someone else snatching it up.
He does have a good return policy though... so if I don''t like it, I can always buy up another sparkley that might show up

Wednesday is going to be quite a day: Brad will update as well. Oooh, my poor wallet!
Well, it is a jewelry and gemstone appreication site. And, the best way to appreciate them is in person.Date: 11/30/2009 6:17:12 PM

Oooh, you''re all so bad! You''re like the little devils on my shoulder!
''Buyyyy the sparkley! buyyyy the sparkley! It''s so pretty and colorful and shiny!''
The nervousness of it being my first potential stone purchase doesn''t help me any either, haha.
''Just put it on the credit card! Credit card!''
PS is oh so helpful and oh so evil at the same time, hahaha!

That said, I strongly recommend that you have the money saved up for your purchase, and don''t buy items that are not necessary on credit.
Since it sounds like he is mailing today and tomorrow, I''m expecting to see my stones by the end of the week.Date: 11/30/2009 11:05:31 PM

Hehe, CCN I hope those are claps of approval!
This will be my first purchase from Dana, I''m a little worried about the gem being overly dark (even though I like very saturated and vivid stones like my tsavorite), but I''m excited to see Dana''s cutting!
For those of you who''ve bought from him, about how long did it take for the gem to get to you?
